Application led .Tune 3, 1895 Serial No. 551,533. (No model.)

To all whom; itV may concern:

Be it known that I, PATRICK' J. CAHILL, of

Utica,"in the county of Oneida and State of My invention relates to improvements in wall attachments for closet-seats.

Inv the drawings which accompany and form a part of this specification, and in which similar figures of reference refer to corresponding parts in the several views, Figure l shows my wall attachment in connection with a partial section of a closet-bowl and a partial section of the seat and cover, which, however, are removed in order to better illustrate the construction. Fig. 2 shows the same attachment with an extension which is provided and used in connection with. the wall attachment. Fig. 3 shows the attach ment without the extension on a straight'.

side elevation. Fig. 4V shows a front View of the same construction shown in Fig. 3. Fig.

5 shows a plan view. Fig. 6 shows on a straight side elevation the device with Vthe extension as shown in Fig. 2, the extension being extended to its farthest limit. Fig. 7 shows a plan View of the wall attachment and extension as shown in Fig. 6. Fig. S'shows in perspective the extension-piece.

The Wall attachment consists of a base 1, which, as shown, consists of four arm-like portions adapted to be placed on and secured to the wall by screws passing through the openings in the ends of the arms. From the center portion of the base 1 springs the forked arm 2, branching into two branches 22L 2a at its upper end, and which are bent out from the Wall'and into a horizontal position at their upper ends. The upper ends of the arms or branches 2a are slotted, as shown at 2b 2b. When in use with the extension-piece hereinafter described, the ends of the arms 2a 2a are preferably arranged to rest upon the back edge of the bowl 3, as shown in Fig. l. The back piece or block 4 is thenadjustably secured upon the horizontal portion of the arms 2a by the bolts 5, which pass through the slots in the arms and through the stationary portion 6a of the hinge 6. The seat 7 and cover Spare hinged by the two parts 9 and l0 of the hinge, respectively, on the common pintle 6a of thehinge. AThe back piece 4 and with it the seat and cover are adj usted by loosening the bolts 5 and sliding the'piece 4 backward and forth on the horizontal portion of the arms, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 3.

In 'case the bowl` is located at a point so far removed from the wall that the arms 2' 2a `will not reachl then employ the extension- Figs. 2 and 6.

The extension-piece is secured by small bolts l2, like stove-bolts, to the arms Vof the wall attachment-,`the bolts '12 passing through the slots 1la in the extension-piece and the slots 2b in the wall attachment. The eXtension-piece is adjustableon the wall attachl ment by loosening the bolts 12 and sliding it backward and forward, and the hinging block or piece 4a, as shown in Figs. 2 and 6, is likewise adjustable upon the attachment-piece by loosening the bolts 5a, which pass through the hinge-block and the slots lla. It may be Vnoted that the block 4a differs in construction plane and slotted at their ends, in combinal the arms, the back piece, seat and hinges, Io tion with the back piece, seat and hinges, substantially as set forth. substantially as set forth. v In witness whereof I have affixed my signa- 2.
